Supporting Communities
Alaska’s coastal communities are a critical component of the seafood industry. Harvesters, processors, fuel suppliers, power companies, machinists, shipyards, transportation and grocers are all part of the economic ecosystem supported by the seafood industry. Alaska’s fishing families, companies and communities are committed to keeping communities healthy and safe while harvesting healthy protein to feed the world. Alaska’s abundant seafood resource provides irreplaceable access to livelihood and food security for Alaskans, Americans, and millions around the world.
